Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
Filling
- 2 cups diced peaches (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Frosting
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Activate yeast: Dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm milk along with a pinch of granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Prepare dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix to form a dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
- First rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Prepare filling: In a bowl, mix the diced peaches with brown sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined to create the peach cobbler filling.
- Shape rolls: Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Evenly spread the peach filling over the dough, then tightly roll it into a log. Cut the log into 12 even slices.
- Second rise: Arrange the cinnamon rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish, ensuring they have some space to expand. Cover and let them rise again for 30 minutes to puff up.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Prepare frosting and serve: While the rolls bake, beat together the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting generously over the warm rolls immediately after removing them from the oven. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but canned peaches work well too—just drain them well to avoid soggy dough.
- If dough feels sticky while kneading, add flour a tablespoon at a time until manageable.
- Make sure milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- These rolls are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently before serving to refresh their softness.
